We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we need to use headings for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We have content: About Alvarez & Marsal (company description) maybe "About the role"? The posting includes description of role, responsibilities, qualifications, benefits, pay range. No schedule info. So we include sections: About the role (maybe summarizing role description), Responsibilities, Qualifications (or Requirements?), Skills, Benefits, Pay. The instructions: Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We need to decide which headings to use based on content. We have responsibilities list, qualifications list, skills list (maybe separate). The posting includes "F&A Manager – Responsibilities" and "F&A Manager – Qualifications". Also includes "Your journey at A&M" (development) but not needed. Benefits summary and salary range.
We should not repeat job title as heading. So no heading for "Alvarez & Marsal Private Equity Performance Improvement Manager, Finance M&A". We'll produce sections.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include details from posting.

We should not repeat job title as heading. So no heading for "Alvarez & Marsal Private Equity Performance Improvement Manager, Finance M&A". We'll produce sections.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include details from posting.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Not present.
We need to not include duplicated lines.
We need to not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings.
We need to output only HTML fragment.
Let's extract content:
About Alvarez & Marsal: description paragraph.
The Team: description of PEPI practice.
How You Will Contribute: paragraphs.
F&A Manager – Responsibilities: list of typical responsibilities.
F&A Manager – Qualifications: list of qualifications broken into categories.
Your journey at A&M: maybe not needed.
Benefits Summary: details about benefits.
Pay: salary range $125,000 - $190,000 annually, discretionary bonus.
Schedule: not present, so omit.
We may also include Skills section: maybe combine qualifications and skills? The posting includes "Intermediate to advanced Excel and Powerpoint skills." Also "Strong, team-oriented leadership skills", etc. Could treat as Skills.
But we have Qualifications already covering many. Might split: Qualifications (education, experience) and Skills (leadership, communication, etc). However instructions: prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine Qualifications and Skills into one "Qualifications" section that includes both. But they gave separate headings examples; we can choose to include both if content distinct.
Let's see: Qualifications bullet list includes Business Leadership Skills, Executive Communication Skills, Influencing and Interpersonal Skills, Project and Program Management Skills, Process Improvement Skills, Analytics, M&A / Accounting / Finance Experience, Education, etc. That's essentially skills and qualifications combined. So we can have a single "Qualifications" section covering all.
Responsibilities section: list.
Benefits section: list.
Pay section: paragraph with salary range and bonus.
About the role: maybe combine the initial description paragraphs (About Alvarez & Marsal, The Team, How You Will Contribute) into a prose section.
